+# Usage Logs
+
+The transit relay does not emit or record any logging by default. By adding
+option flags to the twist/twistd command line, you can enable one of two
+different kinds of logs.
+
+To avoid collecting information which could later be used to correlate
+clients with external network traces, logged information can be "blurred".
+This reduces the resolution of the data, retaining enough to answer questions
+about how much the server is being used, but discarding fine-grained
+timestamps or exact transfer sizes. The ``--blur-usage=`` option enables
+this, and it takes an integer value (in seconds) to specify the desired time
+window.
+
+## Logging JSON to stdout
+
+If --log-stdout is provided, a line will be written to stdout after each
+connection is done. This line will be a complete JSON object (starting with
+``{``, ending with ``}\n``, and containing no internal newlines). The keys
+will be:
+
+* ``started``: number, seconds since epoch
+* ``total_time``: number, seconds from open to last close
+* ``waiting_time``: number, seconds from start to 2nd side appearing, or null
+* ``total_bytes``: number, total bytes relayed (sum of both directions)
+* ``mood``: string, one of: happy, lonely, errory
+
+A mood of ``happy`` means both sides gave a correct handshake. ``lonely``
+means a second matching side never appeared (and thus ``waiting_time`` will
+be null). ``errory`` means the first side gave an invalid handshake.
+
+If --blur-usage= is provided, then ``started`` will be rounded to the given
+time interval, and ``total_bytes`` will be rounded as well.
+
+## Usage Database
+
+If --usage-db= is provided, the server will maintain a SQLite database in the
+given file. Current, recent, and historical usage data will be written to the
+database, and external tools can query the DB for metrics: the munin plugins
+in misc/ may be useful. Timestamps and sizes in this file will respect
+--blur-usage. The four tables are:
+
+``current`` contains a single row, with these columns:
+
+* connected: number of paired connections
+* waiting: number of not-yet-paired connections
+* partal_bytes: bytes transmitted over not-yet-complete connections
+
+``since_reboot`` contains a single row, with these columns:
+
+* bytes: sum of ``total_bytes``
+* connections: number of completed connections
+* mood_happy: count of connections that finished "happy": both sides gave correct handshake
+* mood_lonely: one side gave good handshake, other side never showed up
+* mood_errory: one side gave a bad handshake
+
+``all_time`` contains a single row, with these columns:
+
+* bytes:
+* connections:
+* mood_happy:
+* mood_lonely:
+* mood_errory:
+
+``usage`` contains one row per closed connection, with these columns:
+
+* started: seconds since epoch, rounded to "blur time"
+* total_time: seconds from first open to last close
+* waiting_time: seconds from first open to second open, or None
+* bytes: total bytes relayed (in both directions)
+* result: (string) the mood: happy, lonely, errory
+
+All tables will be updated after each connection is finished. In addition,
+the ``current`` table will be updated at least once every 5 minutes.
+
+## Logfiles for twistd
+
+If daemonized by twistd, the server will write ``twistd.pid`` and
+``twistd.log`` files as usual. By default ``twistd.log`` will only contain
+startup, shutdown, and exception messages. Adding --log-stdout will add
+per-connection JSON lines to ``twistd.log``.
